Debugging a Failing Hotkey
If you have a keyboard that runs QMK firmware[0] with the VIA[1] feature enabled[2], then there is a convenient testing app available from the same place you customize your keys [3].

Just setting up my first corne layout. It will take a while for me to get used to this wow... It's taking so long to type. Attached is my layout, and I mainly use c# on visual studio. Any concerns/advice/suggestions are welcome. It will take a while for me to reply on this thing though.. haha..
I made a layout that I'm happy with. Spanish is my native language, so it has characters like the accents and 'ñ', but it's meant to be used for programming as well. Visual Studio uses a lot of Ctrl and Ctrl + Shift shortcuts, so I left them in the same place as the default Corne layout so I can press them both with my pinkie finger. Perhaps some of the ideas are useful to you.

Adafruit Feather RP2040 with USB Type A Host as a QMK converter board?
Also, it would be possible to do this for the RP2040. However, it needs some work to get working. but for example: https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/pull/20999

If anyone knows of a good tutorial on how to make this tft display useful on a board controlled by an rp2040 and flashed with qmk configurator, I would be most grateful if you could point me in that direction. Gracias!
Ok, it's an ST7735, not too different from the ST7789. You should be able to get running by looking at their files in the QMK repo and going from there. You should also check their resources page.

Bongocat or other cool oled animation for Lily or Sofle
UPDATE: after fluffing around a little bit, I have manged to fix this code: https://github.com/qmk/qmk_firmware/blob/master/keyboards/lily58/keymaps/bongocat_wpm_responsive/keymap.c and flash it successfully - it seems not to be working correctly as the cat is only hanging there and does not respond to the wmp count. If anybody spots anything wrong in the code please let me know!(C is not my language but I am a programmer, I am gonna get at it again over the weekend if I have time left)

anyone have a working vial configuration files to share?
i wish to enable several features on my corne thru vial but could not seem to make those from this link to compile - first error was about keycode then something about dynamic keymap when i had the first fixed/simplified. i'd appreciate if anyone could share their tested vial configuration files that i can use as guide.

How to work on hex file from keyboard maker?
You'll probably need to download the files from the GitHub repository for Vial or QMK. Depending on what you prefer and what you need. Then you'll have to learn what you need to change to set up the screens and then to edit the files. Your keyboard maker probably can provide you some files you can use. Then you'll have to compile your own HEX file. And only after that you can re-flash your keyboard and use all those amazing things you integrated into the firmware.

Trying to use vial with Keebio iris rev 7
It looks like that's a vial keymap specifically for the rev2? I don't know whether it would make a difference, but you could try to compile from this keymap instead and see if it works?

I have to unplug and replug my ergo kb after startup before it starts working
According to this (https://github.com/vial-kb/vial-qmk/blob/vial/keyboards/bastardkb/charybdis/4x6/v2/splinky/config.h) the Vial firmware for Splinky based Charybdis is written natively using RP2040 pin names.

Megalodon Triple Knob Macro Pad Firmware Update
Think you can also port to VIAL? I am currently using the doio firmware without problems, but guessing your updates will be useful: https://github.com/vial-kb/vial-qmk/tree/vial/keyboards/doio/kb16

Help going from a VIA .json to a QMK compatible .hex | Libra Mini
I've been using VIA to edit my keyboard layout, but unfortunately the software can't find my keyboard anymore (it just gets stuck on 'Searching for devices'). I think I need to reflash my keyboard. I don't have any .hex files for it with QMK toolbox, and the libra mini doesn't show up in the list of keyboards on the online QMK configurator. I do, however, have access to the files found in vial-qmk/keyboards/libra_mini/keymaps/vial (found here https://github.com/vial-kb/vial-qmk/tree/vial/keyboards/libra_mini). I've been using the vial.json file from there to change the layout up until now. How would I go about getting a .hex file, or better yet, a keymap.JSON file compatible with the online QMK configurator?
- ID75 or XD75?
- Via no longer recognizes Drop CTRL firmware supports macros. Any suggestions?
- How do you add more macros in VIAL?
What are some alternatives?
